Episode 216 - Laila Anderson

Episode 216 - Laila Anderson

On this episode of the Hockey Think Tank podcast, we bring on the girl who stole all of our hearts as the St. Louis Blues went on their Stanley Cup run...Laila Anderson. We all remember Laila as the inspiration for the team as she was going through chemotherapy during the teams championship playoff season in 2019. From the viral videos of her mom letting her know she could attend the games in person, to her on ice celebration with the cup, to the entire city of St. Louis chanting her name at the parade...Laila was an inspiration to us all to keep fighting. In this conversation we talk:

-Her journey through a potential terminal sickness

-Her inspiring relationships with the Blues players, especially Colton Parayko

-Getting to Boston for Game 7 of the Cup Finals

-Bethematch.org, the organization that saved her life

-An UNBELIEVABLE story with Brett Hull and Jon Hamm

-MUCH MORE

Thank you to Laila (who actually trains with Jeff) for coming on the podcast! Thank you also to our sponsors GelStx, TrainHeroic, IceHockeySystems.com, and our podcast parent company BlueWire Pods. And thank you so much to all of our amazing listeners...you are going to LOVE this episode. It's one of our absolute favorites!!
